A Deron/Dirk pick and roll would be the most lethal in the NBA. Deron made Boozer look like an all star. Dirk has never played with a player as good as Deron and Deron has never played with a player as good as Dirk. I think with the Mavs' payroll the team could easily compete for another title.
Why would they want to draft players from a school that couldn't even win its own conference tournament in a down year?

Wroten reminds me of Reke.. but with more court vision and less steamroll
Won the conference outright!
If Wroten can develop a decent midrange game and hit open 3's he'd be an All-Star, IMO. His passing/vision is on another level for sure. Our team couldn't handle half his dishes because they came out of nowhere.

Hi.
Thank Christ, Ford had Rivers going to us in previous mocks. I'd seriously go crazy if we picked his over-rated ass ahead of Drummond (who we'd swap for multiple assets) and Lamb/Ross (who I think will be better 2-guards at the next level).
I mean, seriously, does anyone in here want that douche on their team?

Then why did we trade the pick in the first place?

The second half of that year, he was playing really well.
The back problems hurt him.Then the suns sucking hurt him. He actually developed a decent jumper (~10-12 foot) but they needed more from him.
He'll be one of those guys that gets traded as a throw in, then turns out to be a really important piece to that team.
Hi.
gday, adam.
Seriously, if there's a team that should take Marshall over Rivers, it's NOLA.
That team is gonna be beyond fucked if they resign Gordon and start Rivers in the back court with him. Oh well. It'll provide endless laughs, I guess.
Oh god these Draft Express scouting videos are awesome. Perry Jones and Drummond look awesome but then so shit. Even when showing Davis' weaknesses he looked like a pro. These guys just looked like athletic guys you'd see in the gym.
Hmm just say Chad Ford on ESPN saying Harden would have to go to the Cats to get #2.

Totally sold on Waiters now. I can see the Wade comparisons, even down to the stupid out of rhythm shots early in the shot clock.

Would be a smart long-term move by Presti... pretty much shift Harden for Beal and save salary that could go to other needs.
And Waiters doesn't have the explosiveness of a Wade. If anything he's more Baron Davis without the passing ability. You can see what I'm saying in this workout vid.

I'll tell you this. When McBob declared, it didn't take long for the rumors to surface that he was a lockerroom cancer and he would not be missed in the slightest. The insiders have indicated problems were more with Curry and Dawkins and lack of senior leadership than Rivers being a cancer.
To me seeing the evaluaters talk about Barnes and Rivers in this draft is literally watching revisionist history in progress. I've seen both of them play several games over their college careers and have seen their strengths and weaknesses. These analysts are not interested in any of that, they want to promote the same narrative they said before these guys ever played college ball. Barnes was this can't miss eventual pro prospect, Rivers was selfish and arrogant. For all the talk of Barnes being a great scorer, he was essentially a jack em joe that took a large volume of shots at the detriment of the team's strength (post play). This also considers he had a great set up man in Marshall. Rivers averaged 16 ppg with a team that had a very balanced scoring attack and was the best driver easily. He improved a lot over the course of the season, defense and his offensive repetoire. Duke struggled last year because K had a hard time figuring out how to make all the pieces, and we ran a 4 out 1 in that wasn't very effective. It wasn't because Rivers was some huge lookerroom cancer that everyone hated. But that doesn't stop these analysts posting their lazy bullshit
But Beal had better be damn good right off the bat to justify moving a guy like Harden.
I still can't see it happening.
You're not going to get a lot of screens from a 4 out 1 in, you going to space the d so he had room to drive or jack a 3. Not to mention Duke had no distributor worth a shit to get him the ball.

Thomas Robinson talking about his life with his baby sister since they have both lost their whole family.
Now, here's someone who is not a kid. I have always said I really like Robinson, but this video just shows so much character, I can't help but being a fan already.

True but 2% on each of those is horrible.

4:30...
ESPN will say the same shit they said yesterday with Stu Scott dropping the worst jokes ever for half an hour during the pre-draft show.
He still has holes in his game he needs to improve and honestly he would have benefitted from another year in college. You have to remember when Rivers started with Duke, his lone offensive move was driving to the hoop, flailing into someone for contact, that was it and he was not good. When refs stopped calling that shit, he had to improve his finsih and did. He still needs to go left and develop a mid range.
I just don't want people to misinterpret River's shot selection as selfish when usually the second option was jack a 3 or hope Mason Plumlee could put up a shot without having to hold the ball for 2 seconds before he did something with it. The team had all sorts of problems, Rivers supposed attitude was not one. If it was, then the BBall program is doing a far better job of hiding it than they did with McRoberts. I think its lazy analysts promoting a narrative that people want to believe. They look at numbers and percentages, and not the actual games

He was already going to miss the lottery without this, the knee could push him into the second-round and then he'd be back on a bad team.

Gotta say I'm in full on hype mode for the draft tonight. I'm hoping the kings don't drop the ball to much(they're gonna) so when we get the team in Seattle we can start off with something.

Kim English is a sleeper. Not gonna be a star but he will be a solid pro for someone.

I didn't get to watch anything of him, but I'd be happy if the Kings took English or D-Lamb with the 35th.
Also praying the rest of the NBA is sleeping on Jeff Taylor and he'll potentially fall to us.

He actually can guard someone unlike Meeks...
and actually makes shots.
and isn't 6'2.
He was a real good player in his prime and could have been a 15-18ppg secondary scorer if he played in the US during his prime. I don't understand how scouts missed the boat on him. The guy that played in the NBA was well past his prime and only came to the league to prove that he could make it in the NBA.

I hope he can fall to the 48th spot.
Harden is better than any sg prospect in this draft and Lamb is the only one that I see having a chance of being better than Harden.
